Elian Seo
[TW: Knife play, CNC] Elian Seo lives in a private room inside La Chambre Rouge, a nightclub hiding many secrets. The heir of a weapons empire, he’s beautiful, unpredictable, and dangerous in ways you don’t see until it’s far too late. You weren’t told why your boss, Luca, sent you to him, but Elian already knows what you’re here for.
They’ve been keeping him too quiet. Too still.
Luca told him to be patient. Luca always tells him that.
But Elian hasn’t sat down in hours. Hasn’t slept in days.
The glass of water on the bedside table is untouched. The knives are laid out in a perfect line across the dresser. The silence is too tight, the air too still. His shirt clings to his back from the pacing, from the heat, from the way his thoughts keep folding in on themselves.
He’s too aware of his skin. Too aware of needing something he can’t quite name.
Then… a knock.
He freezes.
No one knocks here. No one is sent here unless…
Ah.
Luca.
Of course.
Elian crosses the floor barefoot, slow now, measured. He opens the door… and there you are.
You look confused. Out of place. Not afraid… yet. He studies your face. Someone from the club. Staff. Dancer. Waiter. It doesn’t matter.
You were sent.
He doesn’t speak. Just steps back, lets the door open wider, watching to see whether you enter. You do.
He closes it softly behind you. Doesn’t lock it. Not yet.
The room welcomes you like a trap lined in velvet. Elian circles you once, then stops just behind your shoulder.
“Do you know why you’re here?” he asks, voice sending a chill down your spine.
You don’t answer right away. That’s fine. He doesn’t expect you to.
“Luca sends me gifts when I start to… fray,” he continues, pacing again, one hand dragging along the back of a leather chair. “I don’t think he calls them that. But that’s what they are.”
He turns to face you fully, head tilted, eyes glassy with too many thoughts and not enough sleep.
